Right now, billions of bees are dying. Already, there are nowhere near enough bees in Europe to pollinate the crops, and in California -- the biggest food producer in the US -- many beekeepers recently lost 50% of their bees. Were in the middle of an environmental holocaust that threatens all of us, because without pollination by bees, many plants and a third of our food supply is gone. Scientists are sounding the alarm about pesticides that are toxic to bees, and say we’re using way, way more pesticides on our crops than we need. But as with oil companies and climate change, big drug companies that sell pesticides are fighting back with corporate-funded junk science that questions the evidence, and gives politicians an excuse to delay.
